Felt similar about Henteria 2. Very good at the start but slowed down to a crawl with both heroines feeling stuck in the same stage of corruption for too long. I guess it makes sense with that business model of monthly Patreon updates. But it made the game worse to the point of leaving a bit of bitter aftertaste which was a shame. But I will say Henteria 3 looks better. For starters it has a MC POV for the mystery feel. Never understood why 2 did some mystery scenes great and then forced you to watch some scenes kind of random. Now theres the choice to be more consistent with mystery playthrough. Too early to tell about the rest other than improved visuals and better QOL. But so far characters are great and plot is interesting. Worth a try even if you had problems with the previous game.
I enjoyed it enough that it put me in another NTR RPG mood. Finally played Spiral Legend V which is excellent despite some problems. Its maybe the best RPG game with NTR routes that Ive ever played even if its not the best NTR RPG. If that makes sense lol. The dev made a very complex and pretty deep RPG game in mechanics and story. Its long and engaging. It has NTR routes and even an option to lock yourself into those when you boot the game, or avoid all NTR if its not your thing. All of that is great but its worth noting that its barebones in some other ways. Its an old engine VX game so it has technical limitations. And despite the scenarios being great the visual execution of NTR scenes can be weak. I dont mind NTR games that only use the pixel sprites but the actual sex scenes in the game fade to black with only (long) text narration and sound effects. Theres some pixel animation and silhouettes but that's just for the scenes you catch glimpse of. If you like the implications of NTR RPG this is maybe the best game Ive played but it has those caveats if you want something more meaty visually.
To anyone who has played them, are the previous Spiral Legend games worth it? From what Ive heard the NTR isnt as strong, 4 didnt even have a NTR route until the last update and you cant access that route until you clear the game. If theyre not as good in that regard Id rather play other NTR RPG. Ive also been playing アグノーストス games lately and theyve come a long way since being a very weak NTRPG clone circle. Nettle Pain was pretty good even though I prefer more mystery.
